What if the real estate market could shift from challenging to promising within a year? Join us on the Goods on Real Estate podcast as we explore how Wanaka's property landscape transformed in 2024. With Duncan Good from Ray White, Wanaka, and your host, Brent Harbour, we analyze the remarkable changes from an oversupply that initially favored buyers to a more balanced market, thanks to interest rate reductions and renewed buyer confidence.

Our final episode of the year takes a deep dive into the numbers, showing a striking increase in sales across houses, sections, and apartments compared to last year. We discuss what this means for homeowners and investors alike, especially those managing either family homes or investment properties in the picturesque region of Wanaka. As we transition into 2025, we share insights into what the future holds for this vibrant market.
